{{safesubst:
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Delay safesubst}} ). |
Usage
editWith certain coding, subst: does not automatically convert when it is saved. An editor can create wikitext that is only converted when saved again.
Normally wikitext like {{safesubst:a}}
is not saved as {{safesubst:a}}
if {{template:a}}
exists, because safesubst: pastes the coding of template:a in the saved page.
This template makes it easy to save preload pages such as Template:RMassist/preload.
Delaying template substitution
edit"Safesubst" can be delayed with one save by creating and using {{delay safesubst}}.
template used | template coding | Paste or type | Save | Result |
---|---|---|---|---|
Template:Delay safesubst | {{safesubst:
|
{{safesubst:delay safesubst}}a|b}}
|
save page | {{safesubst:a|b}}
|
On the next save (with or without edits elsewhere on the page) results in substitution of template "a".
